Gayatri is typically portrayed as seated on a red lotus, signifying wealth. She appears in either of these forms:

She is an aspect of Mata Saraswati, Mata Lakshmi and Mata Parvati, all three in one form, a form of Adi Shakti, possessing the Rajasi Guna and, hence, is the source of Brahma's power. Without her, Brahma remains dormant or unable to create. It's said that if one were to worship anyone, Gayathri Lakshmi Saraswati Durga or Radha devi, it is equal to worshiping all the pancha (5) matha.
